Vatican Slams Israel: Children are Dying in Gaza; Stop the Violence! (Called anti-Semitic)

Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, President of the Vatican Council for Culture, commenting on the war between Israel and Hamas, delivered a severe attack on the Jewish people: “I think of the ‘massacre of the innocents’. Children are dying in Gaza, their mothers’ shouts is a perennial cry, a universal cry”.

The Catholic Church high official equated Israel’s operation in Gaza against terror groups with the New Testament story of Herod’s slaughter of Jewish babies in his effort to kill Jesus.

Ravasi, who is one of the most popular Catholic cardinals and the director of the Church’s policy on culture, called Israelis baby-killers in a shameless form of anti-Semitism which subtly accuses the Jewish State of trying to murder the new Jesus, symbolized by the Palestinian people.

The Vatican official’s modern blood libel against Israel was delivered during the presentation of Pope Benedict’s new book about the life of Jesus. However, Ravasi's theme – the Jews as Herod, who killed all the innocent babies because his heart was set on killing Jesus – was much beloved by Medieval organizers of pogroms.

The vicar-general of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, William Shomali, said on Vatican Radio that “what is happening in Gaza now is a vicious circle of violence”. The auxiliary bishop then declared that “it’s difficult to know who started it”. How difficult?

A few weeks ago, in an interview with the Catholic magazine Famiglia Cristiana, Shomali claimed that “hatred of Christians” is the Talmud itself. "The Talmud, the holy book studied by the ultra-orthodox, more highly venerated than the Bible itself, invites religious hatred, speaks badly of Jesus, and even worse of Mary and, in general, of Christians,” the bishop said, adding that “in Israeli schools, love for the other is not taught, but rather the destruction of the other”.

If you criticize Israel then you will be called an anti-Semite. I know, even people in my church who I thought were good Christians have called me an anti-Semite merely for criticizing Israel. The mass media has drilled it into people's heads that any criticisms of Israel or Judaism is anti-Semitic and should not be tolerated. Makes me sick and mad. People can and do criticize Christianity and Christians on a daily basis and no one in the mass media calls them anti-Christian, or suggests that it shouldn't be tolerated. Just read the Talmud and then tell me that the religion that goes by it is above criticism. I challenge any objective person to do that.

The last time The Vatican spoke out of turn they promptly were threatened with an audit. So...Will have to keep an eye on that.

Was a serious conflict of interest last time as well so....will see if it's just busy work on their part this time around.

"But we want no excuse for any supposed mistakes of our ancestors. Let us first see it prov'd that they were mistakes. 'Till then we must hold ourselves obliged to them for sentiments transmitted to us so worthy of their character, and so important to our security...If the liberties of America are ever compleatly ruined, of which in my opinion there is now the utmost danger, it will in all probability be the consequence of a mistaken notion of prudence, which leads men to acquiesce in measures of the most destructive tendency for the sake of present ease. When designs are form'd to rase the very foundation of a free government, those few who are to erect their grandeur and fortunes upon the general ruin, will employ every art to sooth the devoted people into a state of indolence, inattention and security, which is forever the fore-runner of slavery-- They are alarmed at nothing so much, as attempts to awaken the people to jealousy and watchfulness; and it has been an old game played over and over again, to hold up the men who would rouse their fellow citizens and countrymen to a sense of their real danger, and spirit them to the most zealous activity in the use of all proper means for the preservation of the public liberty, as 'pretended patriots,' 'intemperate politicians,' rash, hotheaded men, Incendiaries, wretched desperadoes, who, as was said of the best of men, would turn the world upside down, or have done it already."

There is an all out war going on between two groups that seems to have been brewing for a very very long time. In one corner you have Orthodox Judaism and their recent court victory for their Snip-n-suck circumcision ritual which has even led to rabbi to infant Herpes transmission, and the Vatican and their child crimes which I don't even need to link to since I'm sure most readers are all very aware of what I mean. Things have become especially heated recently since the Pope's former butler released some interesting documents and caused quite the scandal. It's hard to tell whether the two are intent on annihilation of each other or themselves. The reason I say that is that here is the twist to the whole thing which makes this war really interesting. It is a war of mutually assured destruction. The House of Rothschild owns the title "Guardians of the VaticanTreasury."
